Somehow this reminds me of a recent article about a guy who stole a Stratovarius.

He played it for the rest of his life and never told anybody what it was.

A Stradivarius, but Stratovarius is a nice name for a guitar/violin hybrid!

...or for a 1980s symphonic metal band.

Edit: honestly, I first thought "hey, that would be a cool name", then I wrote the comment above, then I googled it and found out that yes, there is actually a Finnish metal band founded in 1984 with this name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratovarius But yeah, I guess the name is too good to not be already taken...

Oh man, I thought it was familiar.
